10A Adjustable voltage Regulator

10A Adjustable voltage Regulator MSK 5012.

MSK5012 is a highly reliable adjustable voltage regulator.Whose output can be programmed using two resistors. The regulator has a very low dropout voltage(0.45v @10A??)due to the usage of MOSFET with very low Rds (ON) as the internal series pass element.The MS5012 has a high level of accuracy and ripple rejection is around 45dB. It is available in a 5 pin Sip package that is electrically isolated from the internal circuitry. This give us the freedom to fit the IC directly to the heat sink and this sort of direct heat sinking improves the thermal dissipation.

Description.

The output voltage of this circuit is adjustable from 1.3v to 36v DC.Resistors R₁and R₂are used for programming the output voltage.For all applications, value of R₂is fixed to 10K. The relationship between R₁,R₂and output voltage Vout is according to the equation R₁=R₂(Vout/1.235)-1. C₁is a filter capacitor which is also a part of the gate drive circuit of the internal series pass MOSFET. Around three times the input voltage will appear across this capacitor and so the its voltage rating must be selected accordingly.C₂is the input filter capacitor while C₃is the output filter capacitor.
